Bandai Namco announces PAC-MAN and the Ghostly Adventures 2

Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures was a surprise title last year that performed well enough to warrant a sequel. Bandai Namco have announced that they’re currently working on Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures 2, which will be released sometime in 2014. Last year the game debuted at E3 and was well-received among those who played it.

The game is set to launch in North America on the Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms. The first game debuted in October of last year, though it didn’t arrive in Europe until last month so it’s likely Europe will see a delay on this one as well. If you’re interested in picking up the first game to play it, Amazon has it for only $20.

With that logic, you can say Mario looks like a child molester.
Just a kid.
Who happens to have “man” in his name

You mean saturday morning Namco-Man Jr.? That ain’t Pac-Man!

That guy who hates Spike

All they really did was change his eyes, to look more like Mario’s or Sonic’s.

Will W

He’s a Jerk: He’s going to the ghost’s home planet, and destroying those poor souls. When he’s done torturing, he goes and laughs about it with his stupid friends.
He’s worse than Hitler, or Felix the Cat.

Skelterz

the new pacman is on the sex offenders list

Ducked

I liked the Pac-Man version from the World series.

TheSpeedymouse

I want the old Pac-Man in Smash Bros, not this new one!

That guy who hates Spike

The old Pac Man looks souless and creepy.
Like he could come to your house in the middle of the night.

Skelterz

what you like the new pacman who’s just as spooky yet your parents trust him so he comes to your house in the day to molest you!

Swampert Master

Just like the Villager.

Skelterz

your mums in the new smash game and her final smash is heroin needle only she gets knocked out!

Yoshifan3

Yoshifan3

ah nvm your a troll so im out of here lol.

Hobo

he was just trying to have some fun, calm down bro

Skelterz

Not really your just way too serious mate calm down never had a bit of fun on a comment section before jeez your probably new to the site you need to see the way it works some of us have a laugh.

TheSpeedymouse

That doesn’t even make any sense and that is not even relevant to what I was talking about.

Skelterz

aetjtjsgdndfnea

TheSpeedymouse

Skelterz

Skelterz

Will W

Keep up the good effort. Or bad effort…. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD (Trolls are bad…..).

Capt. Smoker

sigh….

John Andalora

Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures 2…
Well, with such an amazing 120,000 units sold across all consoles globally, who wouldn’t want to make a sequel to such an astoundingly successful game???

BIG Franky

probably because those figures aren’t even remotely close to accurate?

NO… I KNEW YOU GOT THEM FROM VGCHARTZ…. ONE OF THE MOST WIDELY DIS-CREDITED SITES ON THE WEB… THOSE FIGURES ARE GARBAGE AND NO CREDIBLE GAMING SITES EVEN SOURCE THAT SITE ANY MORE… THSOE FIGURES ARE ABSOLUTE GARBAGE.

BIG Franky

haha… oops! sorry about the caps! I wasn’t looking at the screen and my caps lock was on… my bad!

John Andalora

No worries on caps. I’ve done that!

Zerovii

We don’t know the costs it took to make it, and considering the cartoon is getting a second season, obviously whatever it sold did turn a profit enough to consider a second game.

John Andalora

I feel like releasing a multiplatform game with more than 6 hours content nowadays costs more than what 120,000 units could make (especially when your multiplat is also on handhelds).
Maybe I’m just bad with numbers, but I suppose I think it costs a lot

Will W

That crazy notion wouldn’t work. “MULTIPLE” platforms? A game that — that isn’t pokemon — that will hold people’s attention for longer than the Big bang Theory is on (I mean different episodes)?

John Andalora

Fine then.
If you don’t believe VGChartz (which provides a solid number of retail units sold within a certain period of time) then please provide a source which has the proper sales figures. And I want to see the actual figures, so please link it where I can actually find out how many units were sold.
While I appreciate individuals making sure that I know which sites are “absolute garbage” I would also appreciate individuals showing me the sites that have more reliable information. Without such sites to back it up, one might get the false impression that an individual is simply making things up or denying the proof without having sound reason, at which point the entire conversation would produce nothing further.

Jason

I remember when 3D Pac-Man games used to be good. What happened?

BIG Franky

the first title actually wasn’t all that bad…. try playing a game before trashing it, maybe? worth more than $20? probably not… but certainly worth twenty bucks.

Yeah 1st play the game, then open your mouth.

Jason

How on earth would you know if I’ve played the game or not? You don’t even know me. Why don’t you THINK, before opening your mouth

Ducked

Since Namco is also developing on Smash Bros, I’m just waiting for them to reveal him as a character. They will probably do it at E3 this year.

The Wii U version of this game wasn’t bad, but nothing like the Pac-Man World series.

Pac-Man better be in Smash, or else….. well or else I’ll just be disappointed….

Ducked

Yeah that wouldn’t stop me from buying it haha

MerryBlind .

haha exactly!

bistricky

Rather have seen Pac-Man Museum on the Wii U …… but this is modern gaming life for ya. Cheers

nexxus6

Like the game or not, people should be happy that Namco is brining the sequel to the WiiU. I can guarantee if Namco was skipping the WiiU with this title, people would not hesitate to rev up the “WiiU is doomed” bus.

Phoenix Maybe

Support from Namco-Bandai isn’t a bad thing. It’s just that the only game their brining to the Wii U is this kind of stuff. But you do have a point when it comes to the Nintendoomers.

Swampert Master

Um, what about Super Smash Bros. 4?

Phoenix Maybe

Wow I didn’t even know they released the first one.
This isn’t helping Namco.

Jeremy Baker

It’s amazing that an OK game like this will get a sequel but a amazing game like zombieu won’t get a sequel. Sad so sad

Noah

Don’t like Pac-Man’s voice, but surely I’m not the only one who thinks this game looks kinda fun? Not life-changing by any means, but some good light-hearted platforming.

Squid

I was thinking the same. It seems to be the kind of PAC Man world game. But if the game is surrounded by cringe worthy voices and jokes I’m not buying.
